I thought this would be pretty interesting, just to see what the prices for gas are around the world, since we have a worldwide forum here. So post away.

Here, in Reno Nevada, the cheapest is $2.98/gallon.

---

Here in Toronto it's running around $0.95 to $1.05 per liter

Bennington, Vermont 2.79 Gal.

---

I spent $2.89 / gallon in Atlanta.

Here in Gemany, I'm paying $1.77/litre (Premium, 98 octane).

That's a whopping $6,70 per gallon

read this blurb on MNS Money website .... if it's accurate, things are likely to get a whole lot more unpredictable ....

No need to feel sorry for the Exxon Mobils of the world while you're filling up your tank with $3-a-gallon gas. Who can feel sorry for a company that earned $36 billion in 2005, more than any U.S. company ever?

But as you seethe about $3 gas now and worry about $4 gas next year, remember that big oil isn't calling the shots anymore. Venezuela has forced ExxonMobil (XOM, news, msgs) to slink out of the country and has made Chevron (CVX, news, msgs) and ConocoPhillips (COP, news, msgs) take a 75% hike in royalties and a 50% increase in taxes and say, "Thank you, sir, may I please have another?"

Russia is blackmailing all of Europe by saying "sell us your natural-gas delivery companies or no natural gas for you." Iran has thumbed its nose at the United States and the United Nations, figuring that the world needs its oil too much to actually do anything about its nuclear weapons program. And Chad got the World Bank, the U.S. government and Exxon Mobil to cough up disputed royalties by threatening to shut its oil pipeline.

Boy, you know you're in trouble when Chad, a country of 8.1 million people living on 1.3 million square miles of desert, can push you around.

When Exxon Mobil is a small fry
How did Russia, Iran and Venezuela get to be the new bullies of oil?

It's not simply because they export lots and lots of oil -- although that certainly doesn't hurt. In 2004, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Russia was the world's second-largest oil exporter after Saudi Arabia. Iran was the second-largest oil exporter in OPEC (the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) after, again, Saudi Arabia and the fourth-largest oil exporter in the world. Venezuela came in at No. 5. (For the record, Norway rounded off the list of the top five exporters at No. 3. It's only the seventh-largest oil producer in the world, but because of its small population, the country exports almost all of what it pumps.)

The clout of these new bullies really results from their stranglehold on the world's big pools of discovered and discoverable oil

Here in Toronto it's running around $0.95 to $1.05 per liter

Ditto here in Edmonton.

In Melbourne, Australia I saw a price at Shell this morning for A$1.41 per litre. Taking exchange rates into account, in US terms that is about US$1.06 or US$4.00 per USgal. {edit}This is for 91 octane.

cheapest here that I can find is 3.14/gal for 87 octane. blame misfit.

The price of petrol in the area of the UK I frequent is about $6.53 per gallon. This is trying to adjust for the £:$ exchange rate ($1.84:£1.00) and the fact the US gallon is amaller than the UK gallon (~83.333% of UK gallon).

Looks like Oz and ourselves pay about the same for our fuel?

Pittsburgh seems to be running around $2.87 a gallon on average. There are still a few that are a little lower and some higher.

To truly explore, one must keep an open mind...

AFAIK gallon is not the same as gallon, depending on the part of the world you live in.

As this has been asked for prices around the world, local units like gallon or bushel, gill or whatever exotic units there are, seem not appropriate imho.
Could you please use international units as well, or at least say what your personal "gallon" is in real, that's SI, units?

Here in Germany:

1,15 €/liter for diesel
1,38 €/liter for gaz

Hi Saenger

In the UK we pay 0.94 pence per litre, and a UK gallon is 4.54 litres.

I cannot quote the price for LPG (Gaz) as I don't use it, so don't need to know.

It is interesting how each area of the world uses different volume measurements, but also different ways of measuring the same thing.

I believe Oz and NZ use the same gallon as the UK. The US gallon is smaller than the UK gallon (at about 3.8 litres).

In the US, UK, Oz and some other world areas fuel consumption is measured as the distance that can be covered using a given volume. Where as you, and the rest of Europe, use a standard distance (100 Km/62.5 miles) and measure the volume needed to cover this.

All so complicated!!

Sorry, my fault, LPG is a lot less, and PNG even more. What's the short form for ordinary Otto-engine stuff? gas? petrol? benzin?

But if you use the standard SI, it's easy to calculate yourself. If you have to look for the conversion factors as well, and if these vary from place to place, it becomes far to complicated.

I think as follows (but correct me) -

Petrol or gasoline
diesel (not different in other continents)
Gaz to me is LPG
we also have CNG (compressed natural gas)

I believe benzin is the same as petrol?

Please remind me of the SI units that lead to a standardisation for fuel consumption. It is a long time since I played seriously with 3 systems of measurement and force - Imperial; CGS and MKS?

$3.25 per US gallon (231 cubic inches) for 87 octane which will take me almost 20 miles. That costs me about $6.50 per day to go to work and back.

That's in northwest Washington state, just north of Seattle.

I'm seeing US$2.92 to US$3.10 (per US gallon) in the greater Philadelphia, PA area for regular 87 octane gasoline.

In the US (not sure about other nations), the prices always end in 9/10 of a cent per US gallon. Driving along, you'll see something like

$2.919

so I rounded my observed prices up to the next penny.

No animals were harmed in the making of the above post... much.

Hmm, prices... let's see, "cheap" 95-octane is... 1.53814 €/l = 1.05058 £/l = 1.94332 $/l = 7.36 USD/US-gallon.

98-octane: 1.61680 €/l = 1.10423 £/l = 2.04289 $/l = 7.73 USD/US-gallon.

Oh, and diesel: 1.38602 €/l = 0.946277 £/l = 1.75006 $/l = 6.62 USD/US-gallon.

Southern Illinois $2.83 a gallon.

PROUD TO BE TFFE!

Southern Illinois $2.83 a gallon.

about $2.89 a gallon here...
